HC Deb 27 February 1935 vol 298 c1131W
Mr. McGOVERN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number and names of the persons who were arrested at Dundee for alleged rioting in the recent unemployed demonstration; and whether he intends to order an inquiry into the allegations of brutal conduct by the police?

Sir G. COLLINS

Eight men and two women were arrested at Dundee on 13th February, 1935, for offences alleged in connection with open-air demonstrations, and I am sending the hon. Member a list of the names. I have obtained a report on the disturbances which took place on that day, and, after careful consideration, I find no ground for any further action on my part.
